The "Terms of Use", at http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=6048&group_id=1 says: "6. LICENSING AND OTHER TERMS APPLYING TO CODE AND OTHER CONTENT POSTED ON SOURCEFORGE.NET Use, reproduction, modification, and other intellectual property rights to data stored in CVS or as a file release and posted by any user on SourceForge.net ("Source Code") shall be subject to the OSI-approved license applicable to such Source Code, or to such other licensing arrangements that may be approved by OSTG as applicable to such Source Code." If there are any alternative terms available for the hosting of proprietary software, I don't see them. SourceForge hosting proprietay software in the same namespace would be very strange. -- Glenn Maynard
